He wants to feel betrayed
There is a nag
That tugs at his heart
And the back of his brain
That tells him
She’s been untrue
So, he searches
He questions
He tries to make it so

She loved him
Tried to hold his heart
When so many circumstances
Pulled them apart
Some of which
Was that nag he had
That tug
That said she had been
Untrue

There they were again
Unstrung
An unsung love story
That always fell short
Of reaching it’s mark
Because of the wall
Brick by brick
That was built
From heartache

She reached out
But he searched
She touched him
And he backed away
She begged him to listen
And he closed his ears
He would find it
He was bound and determined
She was his prey

She waits for his next escapade
His next accusation
She braces for the impact
But doesn’t know from which way
His charge will come
She sits down
And imagines forests and meadows
And imagines trickling brooks
And images flow

She organizes them into words
To look pretty on paper
It takes her mind from
The stark reality
That he still searches
For her infidelity
She writes and waits
She loves him
She'd give anything for him to love her…

Heartwrenching and pouring with tears...
these stanzas cry out for peace
and the completion of love
it's hard when the one you love
is unable to let go and trust
it makes you wonder...
is love without trust...really love?
